Petitioner is a candidate to the election for Board of
Directors of Arakulam Farmers Service Co-operative Bank Ltd.
The election is scheduled to be held on 2.8.2009. The petitioner
apprehends that unless police protection is ordered, there is
likelyhood of the election being disrupted.

the writ petition. Since an election is to be held to a Co-operative
Society, it is the duty of the State to see that such election is
conducted in a peaceful manner, without being interrupted by
anybody.
3. In the circumstances, we direct respondents 2
and 3 to give necessary protection for the smooth conduct of the
W.P.(C) No.20967 of 2009
2
election for Board of Directors of Arakulam Farmers Service Co-
operative Bank Ltd., scheduled to be held on 2.8.2009.

judgment before respondents 2 and 3 for information and
compliance.
